“Django” like “Per un Pugno di Dollari” (A Fistful of Dollars) is another riff and variation on Akira Kurosawa's masterly “Yojimbo” (1961) with the protagonist once again inserting himself, for his own reasons, between two warring factions. Corbucci directs with a tough, no nonsense, highly functional style, getting his camera virtually “hand-held” in amongst the action and delivering a visceral experience as opposed to Segio Leone’s more cerebral and stylistically intellectual style. That isn’t to say that Corbucci doesn’t bring his own clever and satisfying stylistic flourishes – the town for example is portrayed as a blasted ruined war-zone, with windswept, sodden streets and the gunfight confrontations are masterful bursts of unbridled pyrotechnic violence. The climatic showdown in the graveyard is a standout sequence – a tour-de-force of eerie atmospheric Gothic inventiveness and sustained atmospherics. It is interesting to note that Ruggero Deodato of “Cannibal Holocaust” notoriety was the assistant director on the film. The actors all put in good, if slightly stereotypical, turns. Franco Nero steals the show as Django, however. Dressed in a black trench coat and black hat, he plays the role with a tough charismatic cool alongside a deep moral ambiguity. He is a riveting character – dirtier and more cynical than any Western hero up until this point and with his mysterious unexplored background, dragging his strange coffin behind him, he at times, comes across as a quasi-mystical or even religious figure. The score is by Luis Bacalov and is very good, but it is topped by the excellent Django theme tune with lyrics by Franco Migliacci and performed by Rocky Roberts in some weirdly wonderful cod-Elvis style. In summary all the strange elements that make up the film come together in a hugely pleasing manner, ensuring that everything about “Django” is excellent – the film is a true cult classic and one of the all-time great spaghetti Westerns.
